Experience description

Astonishing views are guaranteed as you venture out onto the surface, trekking across the spectacular Worthington Glacier. You’ll be fully equipped with everything you need to traverse this epic block of ice, that measures nearly 6000 acres across. Like most of the planet’s glaciers, it’s in retreat, but the decline here has not been so rapid, meaning that intrepid adventure-seekers are still welcome to explore. You’ll need the physical ability to match your spirit, as your guide will be leading you up to elevations of 1000ft and more, an intense workout by any standards!

Pausing for a brief snack break along the way, this awesome Alaska gift experience is a must for photographers. As well as the stunning Chugach Mountains in the distance, you’ll see blue crevasses, waterfalls in the Keystone Canyon, and the Thompson Pass as you go, so don’t forget a camera. Alaska is a land of outstanding natural beauty and the Worthington Glacier is a must-visit if you’re in the area.
